1. Shock the well water with chlorine and re-test after all chlorine residual is depleted. Water should be testing in one month to ensure it stays safe. Water should be tested every 6 months as

recommended by the Dept. of Health and Dept. of Environment.

2. Install an Ultraviolet Sterilizer - This system is 99.99% effective to sterilize coliform bacteria including E.Coli when the well water quality meets the guidelines for that system. Re-test coliform bacteria including E.Coli to ensure it is safe. The ultraviolet lamp inside of this unit needs to be changed yearly. The quartz sleeve must be clean to ensure sterilization.

Arsenic or Uranium may be found in the well water. Many areas in Nova Scotia have arsenic and uranium in the water. This is a health concern that will affect the sale or purchase of your home. Nuisance minerals such as iron, hard water, manganese, hydrogen sulphide odour may interfere with

the reduction or arsenic and uranium. There are many ways to reduce these concentrations to safe levels. Arsenic comes in 2 forms. Arsenic 3 and Arsenic 5. Laboratories test for Total Arsenic.

arsenic 5 and uranium. You must obtain water for cooking, drinking and teeth brushing from this system.

2. Whole house mixed bed water softeners with anion and cation exchange resin. This is a multi purpose water system that will reduce hardness, ferrous iron, manganese, uranium and arsenic 5.

This system uses water softening pellets to clean and regenerate. This system will also reduce the

pH(acidity) level.

3. Whole house chemical-free Metsorb Filter - This system uses no salt or chemicals. This system will reduce Arsenic 3, Arsenic 5 and uranium. Hydrogen Sulphide(rotten egg odour) must be absent. Contact your water treatment specialist for further details.
